Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Review

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was released in November 2014. Developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. It is a military science fiction first-person shooter set in the future between  2054 and 2061.
In 2054 North Korea attempts to invade South Korea. The game starts in Soul where you play the role of Jack Mitchell of the United States Marine Corps. During the mission he loses the use of his left arm and his good mate Will Irons loses his life in the same accident. At the funeral of Will, Jack is introduced to Will’s farther, Jonathan Irons (played by Kevin Spacy), who is the CEO of a company called ATLAS (a private contracted military company). Jonathan Irons tries to persuade Will to join ATLAS by promising him a new arm. That’s where the main story starts. 

The story of this game was pretty good overall. With some twists and turns, most of the story is told through cinematic cut scenes. If you save the game and come back to it later you have to watch the cut scene all over again and there is no way to skip it as the level loads really slowly as it plays through. 
Kevin Spacy did a good performance in his role and the other voice acting was good. 
The graphics were the best I have seen in a Call of Duty game. With a reworked game engine, it was a change from the previous titles. 
The weapons for this game are all from the future, most of the grenades and missiles lock on to the enemy automatically. There is the use of EXO suites in most missions gives you the ability to jump higher, rappel to ledges and other features. 
I found the missions to be less exciting as the modern warfare series. There are still some great moments when racing through canals, flying jets and controlling other advanced hardware.
There is a skill system through the game which you can unlock upgrades after each mission is completed. The combat system is the same as the previous titles. With ammo boxes you can refill your ammo. The mission progresses by moving forward and most of the time you follow another character and they open doors etc. I am getting a bit sick of performing actions by mashing a single key but that’s what happens when a game is made to work on a console platform using a game pad. 
I’ll also mention that the animation of the characters' faces in the cut scenes was very well done, almost life like.
I found the ending to be a bit anti-climactic.  
The game is rated M.
I give it 8.2/10
